John Boyega Confirms ‘I Actually Have’ Spoken to New ‘Star Wars’ Boss About Finn’s Future, Years After Warning Disney Never to Sideline Black Characters Again
> John Boyega confirmed to “Star Wars” fans at Megacon Orlando (via ScreenRant) that he’s spoken to new Lucasfilm boss Dave Filoni, who is now the studio’s chief creative officer and president following the exit of Kathleen Kennedy. The specifics of what Boyega and Filoni spoke about were not revealed. When a fan yelled out to Boyega to “get Dave on the phone” after he was asked about returning to “Star Wars” as Finn, the actor answered: “I actually have, actually.”

Unfortunately for Boyega, Finn doesn’t seem like one of Dave Filoni’s pets in the way that Ahsoka that that character played by Katee Sackhoff are.

They did him dirty.
So dirty I would rather see them forget about it and move on to something else.

I still remember seeing that clip of him holding the lightsaber and thinking he looked so fucking cool. Give us Jedi Finn you nuts

The writing for his character was bad and he overacted most scenes. Bad combo, even in Star Wars. I’d rather have more Kelly Tran.

I’m pretty sure his origin is the thing that made his character disservice the most. He is a Stormtrooper, which are just cannon fodder to heroes in the SW universe, and on top of it, he wasn’t even good one at that.
Compared to him, Rey is a mysterious protege, and Poe is a hotshot pilot that can take out star destroyers on his own. So even though the character had the most fun personality compared to the other two, dude was shot in the foot with that origin as the audience could never see him as a lead.
They should’ve just made him Lando’s son that was on an undercover assignment as a stormtrooper.

boring character from a not too interesting actor
on second thought, it fits Disney Star Wars perfectly…

I wonder if there’s a way to call a mulligan on the neutered “Stormtrooper Revolt” storyline they had planned for him. Maybe he’s working to de-radicalize the remnants of the First Order.
